WEBVTT - Steve Responds to Brett Favre 0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:02.600 This is cut to It with Steve Smith Senior at 0:00:02.640 --> 0:00:07.240 production of The Black Effect and I Heart Radio. I'm 0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:10.320 Steve Smith Senior and I'm John And this is a 0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:15.680 cut to It bonus episode. Good do It, Good do It. 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:22.599 They's getting down to do it. Good do a good afternoon, 0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:24.960 Good afternoon. What's up? Hey, what's going on? Jas are 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:27.200 you man? I'm good? How was your weekend? Man? Weekend 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:31.840 was good until oh man? Yeah, the streets have been buzzing. 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:36.000 I'm talking about buzzing, buzzing, so, uh if if, if 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:38.160 you aren't aware, if you've been keeping track. Of course, 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:42.920 last week there was the Derek Chauvin George Floyd trial, 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:47.920 and uh probably a few days ago, Brett Farve on 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:53.880 his podcast Bowling with Farv made a comment that, uh, 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.080 he quote, I find it hard to believe. And I'm 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.520 not defending Derek Chauvin in any way. Find it hard 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:01.840 to believe first of all, that he intentionally meant to 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:06.080 kill George Floyd. And just because of such the social 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.880 media outroar that has come about, I want to make 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:12.039 sure I give what he said. He also said that 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.160 being said his actions were uncalled for. I don't care 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.640 what color the person is on the street. I don't 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:19.959 know what led to that video and that we saw 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.080 where his knee was on his neck, but the man 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:26.400 had thrown in the towel. So then you know, of course, uh, 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:28.959 we have a cut to its social media account. And 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:34.200 so Smithie uh came back and said, what from the 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:41.320 I'll give straight from the horse's mouth. So I said 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:46.039 to Mr brat Fad, which I respect. Um, he's a 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:49.800 he's a he's a man that um admired. He threw 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.320 to one of the greatest wide receivers I believe to 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:57.840 play in the NFL. Um uh sterling shark and should 0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:59.800 who should be in the Hall of Fame even though 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:04.559 his career was cut short because of a neck injury. Um, 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.880 and just basically saying that, you know, for me, I 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:11.680 I really felt it was appropriate to say something about 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.440 Brett saying something because Brett had also mentioned two or 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:19.200 three times and said some things that I believed to 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.960 be out of character, which he talked about how so 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:26.480 many people were tired of politics. He said that the 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.440 week previously, or a week a week too, or we 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.839 you know, whenever, and then the next week or two 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:37.880 weeks later, you know, it's all recorded. Um what he 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.280 stated it was he doesn't believe it was intentional, that 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:45.440 what was happening, you know, in the trial. And I 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:50.239 understand you never you know, when you do something wrong, 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:55.080 that whatever the result is is never the intent in 0:02:55.160 --> 0:03:04.359 which happened. Whatever happens, I don't leave that, Brett mean 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:09.320 to come off come off insensitive. But it was from 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.960 from the vantage point from the vantage point of there 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.480 was a trial in which an because it was a 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:19.040 trial in which your conviction and a man lost his 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:24.600 lost his life, whatever the circumstances are. And also the 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:28.240 police officer form police officer went to jail, and so 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:32.519 two families are now devastated. Again, I didn't say one. 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:38.400 I said two families, because there is a cause and effect. Now, 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:43.960 what is disturbing is there's a gentleman on our Instagram, 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:48.680 uh Kobe or Cody. And I'll read you what he 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:53.840 said at on Saturday at six before you read Cody's response. 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.920 Here's here's here's what you said on social media. I 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.960 find it hard to believe and I'm not defending there's 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.160 shoving in any way. This is that's what Brett Forbes said. 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.520 You said, I have so much respect for your career, 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.560 Hall of Fame, awards, etcetera. However, on this subject, Mr 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:14.320 for s T F you, which shorthand for shut up 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:19.520 up respectfully, real talk privileged as So that's what that's 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:24.040 what was sailed on. And people are saying I'm privileged, 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.760 and we'll get to that response, and then let's just 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.600 talk about the second. This gentleman who doesn't follow us, 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:33.039 and he's you know, his twenty five followers, and because 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.920 he has ben kind of all the sports people are 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:40.760 put uh running it. So someone he some someplace or 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.960 someone he follows. He saw my response and here's what 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:51.240 he said. At six am. Hey nigger, do yourself a 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.560 favor and shut the funk up and go cry a 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:57.760 fucking river somewhere where George Floyd can George Floyd can 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:02.120 swim and fucking I out of here with your black ass. 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:06.159 That's what he said. And it's a number of those emails. 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:11.039 It's a number we got over. It's over. You're right, 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.320 she said, Bread is right. No one goes to work 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.479 intentionally harming someone. Now I like that email. That's I 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.400 like that. Damn that's she said. Okay, Well, I don't 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:27.120 agree to disagree. Um, you know you be quiet. Hey nigger, 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:33.240 Hey nigger, Hey nigger, your clown. I'm a privilege this man. 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.479 It's so you know, it's so disappointed. Even someone says, 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:40.400 pull up, give me, give your give you, because I 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:45.640 think this is really important because people someone says you're 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.960 a clown. You you shut the funk up. You privileged 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:53.120 as bitch. That's what someone said, Christopher L. Whatever his 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:57.520 last name is. And I'm sorry that you feel that 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:02.120 strongly about my statements that you're willing to list risk 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.640 your life on social media to come at me on 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:08.560 social media when I say privilege. Let's break breakdown, because 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:13.560 here's what I think you're calling him white privilege in 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.800 our world. I'm not calling him privilege. I'm calling privilege 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.280 in this regard. If you look up the true definition 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:26.360 of privilege, having or enjoying one or more privileges, Well, 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.560 here's one or more privileges that we all have. George 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:33.760 Floyd has no breath in his lungs anymore. So we 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.480 all have that. We all have that we can comment 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:40.039 on this because for George Floyd, he didn't get the 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:43.960 privilege of due process. He was judge, jury executioner while 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:46.159 he was down on the ground for non places, and 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:52.240 that happened other definition not subject to the usual usual 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:59.200 rules or punishment or penalties because of some special circumstances. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:04.240 I have some privilege. We all, what's the example that 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.640 we talked about. We talked about this the fact. Here's 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:10.200 the privilege I have because of who I am. I 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:13.520 do get the privilege of seeing both sides of the fence, 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:16.360 being both sides of the fence of a black man 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.040 who has a name. So when I get pulled over, hey, 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:24.120 that's Steve. We know he's not doing anything illegal. So 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.640 I have gotten that privilege. I've also got the privilege 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:32.760 of being stopped in Monroe by a police officer who 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:36.960 called me boy, who told me get from around here. 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.360 So I've had the privilege of seeing both sides of 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:44.120 the coin. I've had the privilege being pulled over with 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:48.040 my child in the back seat and the police officer says, 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.680 who's that. I had to look back like, who is 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:53.880 he talking to? Whose sounds like that's my child? What's 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:57.080 his name? You don't if you run his prince, they 0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:00.640 ain't in a database, but you know, so I've experience 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:02.720 and seeing some of that. But I also think that 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.680 in this subject that we're talking about with Bret, Brett 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:11.960 farb does not having the understanding or ever has to 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:19.280 deal with being pulled over and dealing with what George 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:23.560 Floyd may have experienced. And guess what, unless I do something, 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.920 I don't have that either. And that's the facts. But 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:33.440 I'm not gonna act like because you guys don't like 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.880 because I'm picking on your favorite player. He's one of 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.920 my favorite players too, But in being one of my 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:45.640 favorite players, I personally try to stay out of this 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:51.080 game because I don't always experience some of what other 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:54.160 people experience. But I have watched the trial and I 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.320 did think a Hall of Famer who has such a 0:08:56.400 --> 0:09:01.280 huge platform probably should not talk about something that he 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:05.880 doesn't experience in his little bubble in Mississippi. Let's be honest, 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:10.080 Brett is from Mississippi. I'm from l A. There's things 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.320 that I know I have never experienced in l A 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.920 that Bret has and vice versa. But again, I'm not 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:20.439 gonna act like the odds of him being stereotyped his 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:24.520 in his bubble are severely ri and and and where 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.320 I know you were going was the way that you 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:30.440 mentioned privilege was not that Brett has white privilege. I didn't. 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:35.080 Although that term has exist, that's not what But go ahead, 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:39.240 privilege doesn't equate the wealth because now everyone's firing back 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:42.520 on you and say, oh, you're rich. Doesn't say this. 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:45.160 Let me say this to all the dumbass people listening 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:49.440 to this. Hey, stupid asses, google me and look at 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:53.800 my wife. I'm not racist. My wife is. You don't know. 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.400 You have to, but I want to because I think 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.920 that I think the ignorance of my wife is Caucasian. 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:05.600 My kids are mixed. I am not black panther, uh, 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.160 you know, all of whatever. But I'm just I'm just 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:13.320 saying because some people think they're like, oh, you're racist 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.480 because you said because I use the words privilege, are 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:20.440 using this right At his core is advantage and in 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.400 this and this this and then we all have it 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:25.160 or be in front of the doubt and we all 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:31.760 have it. In this regard, everyone that is allowed to 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:37.640 speak has a privilege. Everyone who is allowed to speak 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:43.920 has this privilege. That George Floyd does not have a 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:49.360 voice a heartbeat, and the other part of it, people 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.720 are like, you want you to be quiet? Respect, his 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.800 respect his Just a week before, he said that this, 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.840 this shot, this, that these two things shouldn't co exist 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:04.040 while speaking on his own sports podcast. Right, so just 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:07.080 a week before. So now you have the privilege of 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:11.760 changing your mind. I don't. This isn't even like I'm 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:17.640 not I'm not targeting Bread. I just made I just 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:20.400 thought I'll say something that a lot of guys who 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:23.440 text me feel in the same way. Bro, did you 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.240 hear what Brett Farbe said? Bro, there's two weeks in 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:28.800 a row. Bret Farber says them out of pocket stuff, 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:35.679 and I felt, Hey, Brett fellow alumni in the NFL, 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.720 he's Bread Farbs the Hall of Famer, he's this, he's that, 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.640 the laundry list of things. But that doesn't mean not. 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:49.480 I tried, respectfully to just say this out your wheelhouse, bro, sir, 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.040 just like there's things out of my wheelhouse I will 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:56.640 never speak about. You know why, Because I know this 0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:01.520 out of my wheelhouse. I have the privilege of knowing 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.960 what's out of my wheelhouse. So all the people that 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.880 slide into the d N and it's more to dismantled 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:09.640 a lot of that stuff that people have said because 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:11.880 it's thousands and thousands of comments, and now it's been 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:13.920 on it's been on USA today, and it's been all 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.280 these people got something that all these people have something 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.520 to say, Oh, when you assaulted a teammate, when you 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:26.079 did this for that who different problems. I've addressed it all. 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:30.840 I've been suspended, I've had a I've had a lawsuit 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:34.960 in which I've settled. But guess what, people, there was 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:44.040 never a CNN court played out about what happened with me, 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.600 So you can bring it up and guess what, I'm glad. 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:52.959 I'm glad your little fat fingers can take great I 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:56.960 didn't kill anybody. And again, I still have not said 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:01.640 anything towards Brett was out of pocket. I felt what 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:07.520 Brett said was insensitive and ultimately he's he's doing his opinion. 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:10.200 But your opinion is not void without criticism, much like 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.480 anyone else's. And and going back to what you said, 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:16.520 like bro, you, I appreciate you explaining your position and 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:18.360 what a lot of people say about you, but the 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.760 fact of the matter is whatever you did or you 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:24.920 didn't do, you face consequences for that. You know. One 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:28.040 of the things that's most upsetting about how people are 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:32.400 quick to call out things if they don't like what 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.120 you said, right, and all these people talk, you know, 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.440 it's it's tough to sit there and look at the 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:42.040 social media and all these people, Uh, well you got 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.719 thirty or forty people in our in our d m 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:51.760 way more than that with derogatory remark oh you need 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:56.040 to your this and calling me all this everything. And 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:04.440 people are using I said, white privilege actually excuse as 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:10.400 arming that and gives them validation to basically just come 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.520 at me and say of what they probably already thought 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:16.400 before you even made a comment, correct, and they're just 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:21.400 saying things. I'm like, who said that? Again, privilege is 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:25.640 not exclusive to people who played in the National Football League. 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:33.160 Privilege is when not a particular certain groups of people 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:42.320 based on economic situation is based on privilege of it. Yeah, 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.120 it can't be of erace, but it also has to 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.400 do with especially if we're talking about an individual that 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:50.000 lost their life by someone else's action, the privilege of 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.360 the person that lost their life doesn't have the privilege 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.960 to voice their paying about what they experienced that cost 0:14:56.000 --> 0:15:01.040 them their lives. Yea, and it again, this is not 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:07.520 me really coming at Brett far about race is coming coming, 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:12.920 it's going. I'm bringing it up to Brett Farb in 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:18.600 this subject of the way you're talking about a breath. 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:25.680 Farb would be like me trying to say that I 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:32.640 understand what a woman deals with in birth. Brett Farb 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:37.480 knows as much about being a black man as much 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:43.520 as I know what a woman deals with physically a 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:51.640 birthing a child. I've watched it four times now. Even 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:57.640 with my eyes, I cannot grasp the pain that my wife, 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:02.960 who had our last child because the epidure didn't take natural, 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:10.160 the same way that Brett Farb doesn't no exactly what 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:16.120 George Floyd was feeling or what Chauvin was feeling when 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:19.960 he realized that George Floyd was no longer locked. And 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:22.400 to make the comments again, it's it's not to come 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.360 at break, but it's to come at the situation. And 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.960 I think what he spoke, it's not like I'm just 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:31.080 picking U out of the thing there. So that's gonna 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:36.520 go to where he spoke. After twelve jurors had already 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:41.800 concluded that he was guilt and all charges. Let's he didn't. 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:48.200 It wasn't after the twelve it's after it. After it 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:54.160 played itself out to due process and the detail of 0:16:55.440 --> 0:17:00.920 and breaking down that other former police officers said of 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:06.560 a doctor said, yes, George Floyd had drugs in the system, 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:11.520 but that was not the cause for him dying. It 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:13.280 was the lack that it was the fact that he 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:19.560 had lack of oxygen to him caused by the knee 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:23.359 on his throat, and so and everything you just said 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.399 on top of all those people who were there that 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.080 were part of the due process of of of this 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:33.200 trial were either at the scene or their access to 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:37.320 things and information coming from the scene. So for for me, 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:39.280 I think the comments are really kind of kind of 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:41.840 two things. One that it comes off and we've talked 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:46.240 about this, it comes off almost very insensitive and apologetic 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:49.000 to to the officer who we just talked about was 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.960 on video killing someone. And then the second thing is 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:55.879 that it almost dehumanizes George Floyd, and a lot of 0:17:55.920 --> 0:18:01.160 these comments that we've seen in conversations that is dehumanizing, 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:04.280 as if because he is an alleged criminal or an 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.600 alleged drug ad or whatever else you can find on 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:09.720 a person to seem to make it seem like he 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:11.840 got what he deserves. I got a big problem with that. 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:18.840 Here's here's here's the thing. George Floyd had a criminal background. 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:24.400 George Floyd was arrested for whatever. So does that mean 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:27.640 that he deserves he deserves to die? Because I've been 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:32.080 caught speeding? Does that mean I deserved to the punishment 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:34.800 doesn't fit the crime, doesn't My kids have talked back 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:37.240 to me, Does that mean that they deserve to die? 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:38.920 Or how do you or how do you think these 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:42.879 comments make the family of George Floyd Field or the 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:47.520 family of Derek like you said, like saying so for 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.919 some people try to simplify this, and I get it, 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:54.840 but here we also don't think of the depth of 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:58.560 what the situation is. That the part that is really 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:01.919 simplified to me is you didn't like what I said, 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:05.199 you didn't like the way, or you believe that I 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:09.840 don't have the I don't I should not have No, no, no, no, no, 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:12.879 let me use the word. I shouldn't have the privilege 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:18.480 to be able to talk to another athletes, especially when 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:23.560 the color of my skin already lowers my ranking right 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:26.159 because you don't want to know the interesting thing about 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:30.560 all of that, every one of the people in there 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:37.520 are of a Caucasian race, and a lot of them 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:42.560 are calling me a nigga nigger with a hard art. Yep, nigga, 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:48.800 I'm slum, I'm black. Then you know what you know 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:56.560 it's sad is those people probably five years ago was 0:19:56.600 --> 0:20:00.480 probably saying it a different way. I'll let that catch 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.280 that pass because it was transaction at that point. You 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:07.960 were doing something for them, and there's such a But 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:10.760 here's the other part. Now this niggad and got out 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:14.200 of pocket and he's speaking about things that he shouldn't. 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:23.040 So now go back out to the yard and for monarchy. 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:26.320 But to be honest, I'd rather have to shut up 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:29.240 and dribble based on some of these dems because just 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:32.320 the way they're saying and we're saying the performative nature 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:36.920 but madness. But these some of these dems shows exactly 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:42.280 why we're at the place we're at in our in 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:45.040 our country, because when they don't like what they hear, 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:49.480 they turned me down and they start with the insults. 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:55.600 But if I come out with the insults, then yeah, 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:57.760 I was gonna say you're you're there, you'd be the villain. 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:01.879 This so wolf the point of me saying what I 0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:08.760 said on our social media to bread far is this one. 0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:16.880 I don't stand down. Two I won't change because if 0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:20.320 you really, yes, I got in two fights, I know 0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:22.560 the rest of the world has not. I've been the 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:25.199 only person I've ever got in the fist fights, so 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:29.000 I'll fall on that fighting sword. But also too, while 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:31.320 you're looking up my dirt, why don't you go ahead 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:34.240 and look up all the good stuff that that we 0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:37.680 do in the communities that you're scared to go into, 0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:42.679 the in the communities that we've earned the trust and 0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:48.840 trying to change the narrative in which why when you 0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:54.240 see a black man with tattoos, you don't clutch your 0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:58.120 purse because, to be honest, you ain't got enough cash 0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:00.440 in that little ass person. I got my money the clip, 0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:04.119 so I'm not gonna take your little tar j purse. 0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:09.200 I'm actually if you drop something, I may, ma'am, because 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:12.879 I've I've had that experience where people clutch their purse 0:22:13.840 --> 0:22:17.080 that I want to take something. To be honest, ain't 0:22:17.160 --> 0:22:19.000 much in there that I I ain't already got or 0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:21.920 I can't buy for myself. I've had people closed elevator 0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:24.960 doors before I've I've been pulled over and then and 0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:29.359 then profiled right like I've been like the DM we 0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:32.440 get I've I've gotten, I've gotten the N word called 0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:34.960 it me during football games. And what I find and 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:38.360 I'm in the but but what I find is when 0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:44.480 people start to hurl the racial slurs, they've already had 0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:46.600 that made up in their mind. All you did was 0:22:46.800 --> 0:22:49.760 give them probably something that goes against the grain of 0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:53.520 their PRECONCESI what what what you've done is you've basically 0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:57.399 you've given them the written permission to really say how 0:22:57.440 --> 0:23:00.439 they really feel, what's in their heart of who they are, 0:23:00.960 --> 0:23:04.960 and they've already got a and more often than not, 0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:08.320 it is people who have nothing else left in their tank, 0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:10.240 Like that's that's all they got. If you hurl the 0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:12.720 IN word at me, that lets me know, we probably 0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:15.520 can't have a good faith conversation right now. We can't. 0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:17.879 We can't have any type of dialogue that means that's 0:23:17.880 --> 0:23:20.320 all that you got in your tank. Your your vocabulary 0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:24.040 is probably already somewhat slim, so you can't. Sometimes it's 0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:27.680 just here's also think I think they're lazy, and it's 0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:31.680 a good it's a quick word they can use. Hopefully 0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:34.840 they can get a response, right, all these people all 0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:39.080 Brett was right. You can't say Brett was right. It's 0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:45.720 dead ass wrong. When another man loses their life, individual, good, 0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:49.520 bad or in different there's not never a justified CAUs 0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:55.960 And just because that wasn't your intent doesn't negate the result. 0:23:57.119 --> 0:24:00.879 So so Chauvin, what that wasn't his and tent, but 0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:03.880 somebody dies, somebody. Even the last part that Brett said, 0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:05.560 I don't know what led to that video that we 0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:07.720 saw where his knee is on his neck, but that 0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:10.640 man had thrown the towel hold on that last part, 0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:15.080 the man had thrown in the towel are you talking 0:24:15.080 --> 0:24:18.840 about are usually talking about George George Floyd who who died? 0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:22.480 That that implies that George had had a fight. There 0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:24.680 was no fair fight. This man was already detained his hand, 0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:29.080 he was handcuffed again. But here's the thing, because he 0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:32.080 wasn't gonna fight. You know, they always treat you like 0:24:32.160 --> 0:24:39.760 this when you have a fake twenty mhm. Right, But 0:24:39.840 --> 0:24:44.840 when a guy shoots up a grocery store and all 0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:49.639 he has is a bloody knee, that's that's right. Or 0:24:50.400 --> 0:24:54.280 someone here in North Carolina, in South Carolina, they drove 0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:58.160 from one state, shot up a church full of folks 0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:04.760 and they stopped and got, wow, it's amazing. And I'm 0:25:04.800 --> 0:25:08.920 again you can say what you think I am. I'm 0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:14.600 not a racist. Do I believe Brett Farb is privileged? Absolutely? 0:25:14.640 --> 0:25:18.399 Do I think Steve Smith Senior's privileged? Absolutely? And also 0:25:18.480 --> 0:25:21.119 think everybody listening and the people who d m us, 0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:24.680 y'all a privileged to because we all have the privilege 0:25:25.359 --> 0:25:27.679 that some of the other people don't have that are 0:25:27.720 --> 0:25:32.280 in cemeteries. They don't have the privilege to speak their 0:25:32.320 --> 0:25:36.160 truth or speak how they feel. So yeah, we're all 0:25:36.160 --> 0:25:40.199 a privilege. Like you guys said, I'm a privileged nigger, 0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:45.399 I'm a privileged clown. I'm a privileged bitch. I'm a 0:25:45.480 --> 0:25:51.680 privilege all of that. And I take that privilege very seriously, 0:25:52.000 --> 0:25:58.040 in which why the same clown that you now DM 0:25:58.200 --> 0:26:00.160 go to our website and look at what we are 0:26:00.160 --> 0:26:03.760 doing in the community here in Charlotte, understanding and and 0:26:03.880 --> 0:26:08.080 know what I represent. What I represent is my mother 0:26:08.119 --> 0:26:12.119 is Florence Young, my dad is Stephen Smith. Grew up 0:26:12.119 --> 0:26:15.000 in Los Angeles, California. We didn't have a lot of money. 0:26:15.800 --> 0:26:19.200 God gave me the opportunity to play football. But God 0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:23.879 also gave me the privilege to serve my community. So 0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:27.080 my question to you is, as you waste your time 0:26:27.200 --> 0:26:30.560 calling me racial slurs, make sure you go serve your 0:26:30.600 --> 0:26:34.199 community too, without a tax right off, make sure you 0:26:34.280 --> 0:26:38.520 invest in the next George Floyd or the next showing 0:26:38.600 --> 0:26:43.160 that we don't have the same consequences and the same 0:26:43.240 --> 0:26:46.600 results happening over and over. Instead of being a part 0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:49.280 of the name calling, let's be part of the healing 0:26:50.119 --> 0:26:53.720 for this country and for these people. So we look 0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:55.720 at each other not because of the color of skin, 0:26:55.800 --> 0:26:58.040 but we look at each other for who we are 0:26:58.359 --> 0:27:03.560 as as as another gentleman. You guys don't like to 0:27:04.680 --> 0:27:08.040 folks like to acknowledge is the content is someone's character 0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:13.119
